REGARDING the name-calling directed at taxi drivers supposedly garnered from members of the public, may I, as a user of taxis, give my opinion of their personal attributes as described by Sue Parsons:
Yobs - definitely NOT.
Smelly - absolutely NOT true.
Aggressive - NOT in my experience.
If they were they would soon be out of a job.
They are self-respecting men and women, who keep themselves clean; are non-malodourous; have good manners, and as I have found, are reliable and extremely helpful. These drivers are all hard-working, honest people. Many have families to support.
I am writing to point our in no uncertain terms, that they provide a good service to the community which is second-to-none- as far as I am concerned.
